I can stay optimistic because it was even worse with Space Marine and that turned out to be my GOTY for the moment.IoCaster said:
Real Time lighting was really just an attempt to have the graphics engine handle a lot of the lighting work and save artists a lot of time anyway. Im sure with Rage the artists have achieved an amazing look with the baked stuff that can look a lot better than what a lot of the newer graphics engines render.

I paid for my Intkeys order through paypal so if they try to scam me I can just file a claim with paypal and get my money back.Derrick01 said:

The part in bold could easily be argued for all multi platform games and not just Rage, but this doesn't necessarily make all multi platform games with the right developer any less of game just because of certain limitation.
I see nothing wrong with the approach taken with Rage/tech 5 in regards to the optimization and headlining of multiple platforms, If I'm not mistaken id nor Carmack have ever seen anything about the consoles holding anything back. (I could be wrong) Just because the game lacks some uber high end texture work doesn't make any less of an amazing looking game for the console or the PC for that matter.

Okay after 45 minutes with the game the first impression is very positive. Frame rate is extremely smooth; I would say it's 60fps the majority of the time, with outside gameplay dropping slightly. Indoors seems locked at 60. One beef I have is the texture loading; it seems to happen slightly whenever the camera is moved quickly. It's not a deal breaker, but it's noticeable. Graphics are very nice, with great particle effects and art; textures are a mixed bag. Not Uncharted 3 or Gears 3 level, but considering the scale and scope it's very impressive nonetheless. Controls are very smooth and responsive; all I have is a pistol and some wingsticks so far, but the combat is satisfying, and the buggy is a blast to control. I'll post some more impressions later, but so far so good. I can imagine that the PC version will be absolutely gorgeous.

Wow that 360 footage posted earlier looks amazing!
He does have a point in that the graphics would look better in a PC exclusive case, though I think the improvements would be more in things like non-baked lighting and effects rather than textures. As Suaryui pointed out they wouldn't ship a 100GB game.delta25 said:
I'm really excited about Rage, but I can't wait to see what Kevin Cloud and his team has cooked up for Doom 4. That should give us some hints of the improvements a PC exclusive Tech 5 title could give us and I'm expecting to be blown away
Would be a pointless 'improvement', to be honest. If you don't need dynamic lights for gameplay reasons, then baked is the way to go, as of course you can do things with baked lighting you couldn't dream of rendering in realtime. See Mirror's Edge for another great example. I love baked lighting.peakish said:
My hype level for the respective upcoming (as in "sometime in the next decade, hopefully, lolz) id games is thus:
1. Rage
2. Quake V
3. Doom 4
Rage is #1 because a) it releases in just a few days, b) its id's first game in 7 years, and c) most importantly, because its the first time they've ever tried something so completely out of their comfort zone like this. Quake V beats out Doom 4 simply because Carmack has alluded to having it return to the Quake 1 aesthetic style. All three I am super hyped for though.

When is the review embargo up? I know it's id but I already have plenty of games in the backlog. Only if it scores about 9 across the board will this move up the queue in the games I'm playing right now.

Well I was talking about that one specifically since I've seen so much talk about it but if it helps at all I trust Egypt with my CC info about as much as I trust Russia.
And I don't trust paypal at all anymore since this

happened to me when I tried to sell something through it (except I was the one being scammed). Paypal basically told me tough shit when I contacted them about it.
No one cares about the actual tech as long as it looks good. Rage looks incredible for a 60 fps game on 6 years old consoles, but I still can't help but notice when a burning projectile falling from the sky doesn't light up the environment around it. It's highly subtle and I guess I'm one of the rare people who actually notice and/or care about it, but that's how I'mpeakish said:But it's cheating!
That doesn't make this engine any less of an achievement, of course.

It does look like a well made, polished game. Can't say it does anything original so far, but it does it well.
I also think a RPG-like element a-la Fallout could've been nice to have. And why must the protagonist have to be voiceless? It's not like there are multiple choice answers he has to give. How about an option to nod or shake your head with your mouse or controller when you're asked questions by NPC's? Some kind of interaction would be nice.

Carmack said Doom 4 will be out sooner than you think since the core team of Rage will jump over to speed up development. That's a hell of a lot better sounding to me than Valve keeping us in the dark on Ep. 3, or the near vaporware state of FF Vs. XIII :lpeakish said:
